We spent a Sunday night here and we were the only people in the place. The owner, Chris, was super nice, the food was good, the coffee excellent and this old home was decorated for Christmas very nicely. Lot's of history in this house built in the 1880's. Our room was lovely, the bed was very comfortable and the whole place was incredibly quiet for where it is located. It's also pet friendly so we were able to bring our four legged baby along. The price was very reasonable. We will definitely come back some day.

My stay at the Claremount was wonderful. Honestly the house is beautiful. My room had its own bathroom and foyer. There is also a desk in the room if you have to do office work and free internet. Oh and my bed, A-MAZING I could sleep in it for days. I love the deep tub I had a wonderful salt bath and they provide all natural soup, lip balm and shampoo and conditioner. They are very nice gifts. The host family is simply lovely. Holly made me feel right at home and even joined me for breakfast. Breakfast consisted of stuffed blackberry French toast, sausage and fresh fruit, with that I was given orange juice, water and hot tea to drink. I personally requested the blackberry French toast and they were happy to oblige. I hope to visit very soon with family and friends. I bought two of their mugs and they are wonderful. This is a must stay place if you ever want to get away for a mini or long term vacation. Especially if you like shopping at boutiques and/or enjoy the outdoors. Berry College which is only 10 minutes drive from The Claremount provides several hiking, biking and running trails. Down town is not even a two minute drive and it provides boutique shops, spas, and restaurants.

My husband and I have stayed here twice, and we absolutely loved it. The house itself is beautiful inside and out, and the owners are very nice. The photos of the rooms do them very little justice--they are all much more impressive in person.

This is an iconic bed and breakfast - everything you imagine that life would be like in the 19th century (except that it has indoor plumbing, of course). Beautiful woodwork details, very quiet, very private, and a delicious breakfast. It doesn't disappoint - for sure! Would definitely put on the list for a return visit.

My husband and I stayed here on our 12th anniversary. We wish we could have spent more time at this fantastic bed and breakfast! It was very interesting and Chris sat down with us for breakfast after he had cooked and served us and told us about the rich history of Rome, Ga and the beautiful home! We had a wonderful time and we will return! Thanks for a phenomenal anniversary!

We would be delighted to return to this B&B. However, we would select a different room than the Magnolia Room. It is a lovely room until you wish to use the toilet, which is snugly situated between the tub and the wall (more than a bit uncomfortable).

Although I was traveling on business I elected to try this nice bed and breakfast for a change of pace. I was a great decision, providing a relaxing atmosphere after a stressful day at work. Chris even cooked my breakfast part early enough for me to enjoy and learn some history of the house before heading off to work around 6:30. It really helped me out and was appreciated. thanks agian for the wonderful experience and hopefully I can be a repeat customer.

The Victorian mansion is truly spectacular and packed with antiques and playful details. The hosts are friendly and gracious and accommodated my odd schedule without any fuss. The breakfast was tasty, the bed comfortable, and the whole experience was a pleasure.

What a find in Rome! The only problem we had, and it was minor, was that bed was a little too high. We almost had to use the steps provided to get into bed.

Stayed again (2nd time-its close to my Aunt's house) at this charming Bed and Breakfast-this time in the magnolia room; lovely, quiet, comfortable. There was the greatest Christmas tree in our room, it was full sized and decorated so cute, nice ornaments and a good collection of Christmas themes. We were happy with the because we didn't put one up at home as we are traveling this season. There were trees on all the guest rooms and one really awesome big tall tree in the parlor. We appreciated the hospitality of Holly and Chris and thonk they are a charming couple. I noticed in a post that someone complained about lack of table decorations at a wedding, I bet the bride decorated her own tables-a lot of people do that maybe to save money. Anyway this week, while we were there each table had a winter wonderland theme. We had a laugh because here were Snowmen all over the house but it was 73 outside; weird weather but true. Great trip-We'll be back in Feb.!

Our daughter had her wedding at Claremont. The Innkeeper was extremely hospitable, caring and flexible with all our decor and use of their facility. I would recommend Claremont for a wedding for under 125 people. They catered the event and the food was good....the food table needed more decor. The rooms were very quiet and the beds very comfortable. A great memory!

We were attending a wedding at another venue that was very rustic and it was such a treat to return to Claremont House. We enjoyed our stay so much. Chris and Holly are the perfect hosts, friendly but not intrusive. The inn is beautiful and the breakfasts terrific.

My little family of four couldn't ask enough questions about this historical home with its mysterious doors, strange silver decoration in the guest bath, odd holes in the walls, and massive window mantle. Fortunately, the owners were very kind and fielded all of our questions, making our stay fantastic! The food was beautifully prepared each morning, and the Yancy Room was so comfortable! My kids loved the accessibility to snacks and beverages, and I loved the number of great books. Even all of the guests were fun to sit and chat with!! I would absolutely return!!!

The Claremont House is as charming (and breathtaking) as it appears. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. We lucked out and got a room at the last minute - all the other rooms were booked. We will definitely return to Rome and Claremont! Almost hard to believe the craftsmanship that went into building this stunning Victorian mansion.

We stayed one night and had a great experience. The room was large and well decorated, everything was clean. Breakfast was good - they will accommodate for gluten and other allergies which is a nice touch - although not cooked to order (eggs sat in dish for a while, I was glad we ate earlier than some other guests). The B and B is very close to historic/downtown Rome - about a 5 min drive. Overall it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely go back!

A friend and I stayed at the Claremont House for a weekend so that we could go to Paradise Garden and Finster Fest in Summerville, GA. Chris and Holly were stupendous--they gave us all the info we needed about the area and spent a lot of time talking to us. The house is beautiful and our rooms were comfortable. There's one exception to that, which is that the toilet in one of our rooms was enclosed in a space so small I literally could not fit in it. I switched rooms with my (smaller) friend, and she made do. Other than that one thing, we had a fun and interesting weekend. Pro tip: one of the chickens will, in fact, let you pet her.

We enjoyed our stay at the Claremont ....a beautiful Victorian Treasure. Breakfast was the best we have ever had at any B&B. Would stay again . The house has beautiful woodwork not seen in other B&B's Worth the trip....a Must See in my book.. You will experience Southern Hospitality at its best! Great job Chris and Holly.

When I pulled in the driveway, I went back into time! It was if I stepped into the 1880s'. The house... it took my breath away. Everything was beautiful and historic. I learned so much about the history of that house and Rome, Georgia itself. I will return! Thank you Chris and Holly for your hospitality!! Louise Lawler

The rooms were all very big, bright, and clean. The interior woodwork in the house I have never seen in any other Bed and Breakfast. The bed was extemely comfortable. The grounds were beautiful. The house was so interesting it felt like you stepped back in time and I wanted to explore all the different rooms.. A great place to have a wedding or social function.

Beautiful architecture! A special place to behold. Needs some care but those issues do not dominate the pleasure. Victoria was a delight to meet and capable employee in the absence of the innkeepers. Easy drive from the interstate.

girls trip! we wanted to experience a bed and breakfast. We had a one night stay and were very very pleased with everything. The host and hostess were most hospitable. we had arried late and were given ideas for dinner downtown. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast next morning was great. very interesting breakfast conversation about our 2:30 wake up of footsteps and knocks. love a good ghost story!!! Don't pass this beautiful bed and breakfast up. very fun.

Stayed at the Claremont as I traveled in this area for business
4,6 su febbraio 15, 2013
This was my first stay at a Bed & Breakfast so I did not know what to expect. I am a frequent traveler and I usualy pick a Hotel, but this was a special ocassion. I was visiting my girlfriend in Rome, Ga and I wanted to stay in a place that was not just anotherbkand hotel chain. Going all in I also orderd the premium room upgrade and gentlemen its worth it trust me. It came with a bottle of wine 12 roses and chocolate covered strawberries. The service was amazing, there was complementry snacks and the bed was also fantastic. Breakfast was great. I can honestly say that I have never felt more welcome and at home than here, while on vacation. I felt like I was staying at a friends house. Needless to say this place set a very high bar for any other Bed & Breakfast I will stay at in the future.

My wire and I travel in and out of Atlanta several times a year. We decided on the last trip to stay in Rome Georgia and truely enjoyed our stay. Even though we arrived later than planned, the inn keepers made us feel welcomed. We loved staying in this historic B&B which had all the modern convienences but held on to the orld worl charm. We definately will be staying again.

My friend and I attended a wedding in Rome, GA are were looking for a fun, quaint place to stay. We stayed in the Cottage which is a house next to the Inn. It was roomy and cozy with all the amenities needed including a kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. The breakfast was fabulous and the owners sat with us and told us stories about the history of the Claremont House and about themselves. I love staying in places with history, character and charm. To the owners: thank you for your hospitality and for your enthusiasm in caring for the house.

I grew up in Rome and always loved this house but got the opportunity to see the inside. When I had the chance to stay, I was delighted. The home is of the most incredible craftsmanship; the innkeepers are kind and gracious and knowledgable of the history of the home. The food was delicious and plentiful. I had the most miraculous stay. I loved the Elizabeth room. I will stay there whenever I need a place to sleep in Rome. And two of my neices have decided that when they marry it will be at the Claremont House. You must stay there to understand and you will be delighted!

The house is beautiful but the bathrooms show water leak damage around the windows, floors, walls. I was a bit uncomfortable initially upon arrival due to the surrounding neighborhood.

The home is magnificent and is well preserved for the Victorian Age. The decor features items the symbolize that era.from wood moldings to unique carpeting. But best of all Holly & Chris make you feel like visiting friends. One of our finest experience in a Bed & Breakfast.. Also Rome GA has everything from Market St to every chain restaurant.

My husband and I stayed at the Claremont House for our third time this past weekend. The house itself is stunning. Our room was very spacious, and I loved having the addition of a daybed in our room. We stayed in the Yancey Room. The room was gorgeous. The bed is on the high side, but that's no problem because there is a step stool provided that matches the elegant Victorian bed. I love having the dressing area and the bathroom is very well lit, which is great for putting on makeup. I also love the big claw-foot tub in the bathroom. This house will transport you back in time, yet provides you with modern amenities. The innkeepers, Chris and Holly, are incredible hosts. They do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. They even helped me plan a special birthday surprise for my husband. The breakfasts are always amazing and very filling. You always have a variety of fruits, some sort of meat, in addition to a main entree. The fresh stuffed French toast is among my favorite. For people like us who prefer hot tea rather than coffee, they offer a nice selection of teas. The location of the Claremont House makes it easy to get to just about any part of Rome. It is also in a great location to go to Cedartown, Rockmart, and Cave Spring. Overall, this is the best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in. There was not one thing we were disappointed with or unhappy about, except the fact we had to come back home. I highly recommend the Claremont House as a place to stay. It's much better and more comfortable than any hotel could ever be.

Very nice. I was in Rome for one night and prefer to not stay in hotels. I sleep much better in a real house. :) The room was beautiful. Bed was so comfy and the area was quiet. Perfect temperature. All was great. I checked in around 8:00pm, had a little snack from the snack table outside the room. Relaxed for the evening with a good book and had to leave for a breakfast meeting at 8. The next morning, the breakfast smelled wonderful, but since I had a breakfast meeting I simply took a cup of coffee to go. I would stay again. thanks. Very friendly and the room was more than I anticipated. (I had to rate the dining or the webpage would not let me move on.....the coffee was great! and the dining room was set up beautifully. Since everything else was so good I am sure the food would have been as well. Sorry I don't have more input on that.).

Stayed overnight at the Claremont House while doing research in North Georgia. Our host, Christopher, was very friendly and helpful as well as being able to share a wealth of knowledge about this particular area of Georgia.

We enjoyed our stay in the Yancey room. The house is fantastic - great architecture inside and out. Our room was comfortable and roomy. The only downside to our stay was that our room was quite cold (I do realize those high ceilings make it a bear to heat on cold Janury nights :)). Chris was a wonderful host - allowing us to check in early and gave us great advice on local restaurants and directions. We enjoyed our breakfast. We would definitely return.

This B&B is absolutely gorgeous architecturally and is situated on a beautiful large lot near the historical area of Rome, GA. It has unbelievably large oak trees all around and is like stepping back in time. Even though it was rainy when we were there, the atmosphere was heavenly. Would love to go back in good weather. Chris was a great host.

We stayed in the Yancy room for two nights. We loved the room, but since we had 4 people and a poodle, it would have been a little small if we had planned to spend much time in our room. They have a large living room that is very comfortable. Chris and Holli were wonderful. We plan to stay here when we visit our son in college.

The Claremont House B&B greatly exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed it so much, that we booked our return trip through Rome GA just to stay at the Claremont House. The owner was polite and sincere.

My husband & I were married here 7 years ago, so it was a treat to return with our 2 & 4 year olds! This time, we stayed in the cottage and it felt just like a little home where we could have bedtime snacks in the kitchen and relax in the living room after the kids were in bed. The grounds were in full bloom and we enjoyed smelling all of the flowers and exploring the big house! Thanks Chris & Holly! We'll be back SOON!

Every aspect of this B&B was outstanding. The innkeepers were very personable and accommodating to any request we had.

We will definitely visit again.

The house is beautiful. We even wandered into the other rooms to get pictures. It was charming. The breakfast was WONDERFUL and I host was such a delight to talk with. The 3 cats that wander the perimeter protecting the grounds were so friendly! Only 2 complaints: 1) the bed was not comfortable --- a bit too firm for my taste; and 2) we didn't get to bring friends with us to enjoy the trip! We will certainly try this again.

We made our reservation at the Claremont House online -- extremely easy. On arrival we were greeted and given a tour of the house. Our room was exactly as described -- quite comfortable and well-appointed. We stayed two days. Breakfasts on both days were right on time and exceptionally good. Overall, this was an outstanding stay in a historic Victorian B&B. It is conveniently located close to downtown Rome but just far enough away so that we didn't feel like we were staying downtown. Our stay at the Claremont House added a nice touch to a wonderful weekend.

This is a gorgeous B&B whose owners are committed to preserving it and keeping it authentic. The hosts went out of their way to answer our questions about the history of the home and its renovation. It has a wonderful front porch, surprisingly big bathrooms, beautiful decor, and impressive architectural style. It's located close to the historic downtown area and is a quick drive from Berry College. Delicious and creative breakfast, peaceful atmosphere, friendly guests... a great retreat!

Our hosts, Chris and Holly, were extremely gracious and helpful. At my wife's request, they were able to place flowers and a six pack of a great microbrew in the room before our arrival as a birthday surprise. They were also knowledgeable about local dining and attractions. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and along with the common areas of the Inn were full of beautiful period architectural detail. The food was delicious, and the hosts are very flexible with serving times. This stay was an outstanding experience, and my wife and I plan to stay here again on our next visit to Rome.

Looking for the perfect location for a family get away? Planning a wedding? College graduation? The Claremont will exceed all your expectations. Our son and his bride met while attending Berry College and they wedded at Frost Chapel. My husband and I live in Pennsylvania and the groom's siblings were coming from New York, Ohio and South Carolina. We wanted the family together for the weekend and we accomplished that at the Claremont. We 'took over ' the Inn for a long weekend; arriving on Thursday and departing Monday. I would recommend this arrangement to anyone seeking family time together. Our oldest daughter, her husband and our new grandbaby utilized the larger Elizabeth Room; our youngest daughter felt like a princess in the Claremont Room; there was plenty of space for the Groom and his brother the Best Man in the Yancey Room and we enjoyed the lovely Magnolia Room complete with a sky light in the large bathroom (all bedrooms have private bathrooms). The Inn has two large dining rooms, parlor, elegant main foyer as well as two large porches which we fully utilized. We brought a badminton set and Ladder Ball with us and set them up on the front lawn. The lit tree lanterns in the side yard were charming and added to the ambiance. The Inn Keepers, Chris and Holly were excellent hosts. Holly's mother help with food preparations and the food was delicious; especially her peach cobbler! We hosted the Rehearsal Dinner at the Inn and it was a memorable event thanks to all the help and attention to detail from the staff . Every morning we feasted on a gourmet breakfast cooked to order. We really enjoyed having the opportunity to sit down to a family meal and share our time together as we had over the years of raising our children. The Claremont served as our 'Home away from Home' and we thank Chris and Holly for their hospitality.

Good hosts and a fine experience. Everything I hoped it would be.

I have been to two weddings here, and each was really lovely, the first was a large wedding party, witht the wedding in front of the house and a dance floor on the side yard, bar on the back poarch and a really elegant buffet for the reception in the house, which was nice because there were plenty of places to stop and talk to friends and family members. The food was really good, made on site, the cake was made there too, and I didn't try the groom's cake, but the bride's cake was the best I've ever had. This last Wedding we went to was here also, we booked the cottage at the Claremont House, it's right behind it, so that we could be there the whole weekend and that was great. The weather was uncooperative, April! But this was a more intimate wedding anyway, it was in the front parlor, (about 50 people-seated) with appetizers and a served dinner reception, set in the dining room. It was nice, and other family members had rented rooms in the house, so it felt like a great family reunion and it ws a lovely wedding. A nice thing too, is the pictures all look great because of the interesting house details, if you were looking for a place to get married in north georgia or a destination wedding, this would be a great place to have it. We are coming back here in the fall, as we like to play tennis and ride bikes- and our son is enrolling in Berry College and so this is conveniant to all of that. Thanks!

London G20: Sanctions for tax-havens
By politics.co.uk staff
Countries that fail to reform their tax-haven status will face international sanctions; world leaders are set to declare at the G20 summit in London.
Ministers have told inthenews.co.uk that tax-havens face "consequences" if they do not comply with new regulations being drawn up.
Chancellor Alistair Darling explained there was a "real determination for concrete action".
Opinion Former Video
'The more capacity that can go into the London area will quite simply add to our business'
The quality of our built environment affects every member of society
'We should have been doing this 10 years ago - we need to get the ball rolling'
'All of our customers are international and we need those transport links to be as efficient and effective as possible'
'Having direct, easy links makes doing business globally much more attractive'
"Today we have had a very good discussion continuing on from the last two or three weeks.
"In it there has been a complete mood change among countries that possess tax-havens; countries are becoming more open."
But Mr Darling defended Britain's own record on favourable tax arrangements, insisting that individuals and countries were entirely separate issues.
He said sanctions against tax-havens were only "one part" of a package of measures being drawn up.
"The world expects," he said. "And we have to deliver."
Earlier, financial secretary to the Treasury Stephen Timms had declared that the "era of banking secrecy is over".
"There is a firm agreement to maintain pressure [on countries that do not submit to the new tax-haven regulations]," he said.
"Ultimately we are looking for a tangible outcome."

Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- The Australian dollar fell for a third day against its U.S. counterpart, its longest losing streak in three weeks, as concern that Europe's sovereign-debt crisis is deepening sapped demand for higher-yielding assets.
The Aussie briefly erased its drop after a report showed U.S. payrolls report swelled and the nation's unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped. New Zealand's dollar, nicknamed the kiwi, dropped to a four-day low before trading little changed.
"A worsening of Europe's debt problem accelerates risk aversion and therefore is a selling catalyst" for the Australian and New Zealand dollars, said Takuya Kawabata, a researcher in Tokyo at Gaitame.com Research Institute Ltd., a unit of Japan's largest currency margin company.
Australia's dollar weakened 0.2 percent to $1.0240 at 3:09 p.m. in New York after dropping earlier as much as 0.6 percent. It fell 0.4 percent to 78.85 yen. New Zealand's currency traded at 78.16 U.S. cents after touching 77.75 yen earlier, the lowest since Jan. 2, and was little changed at 60.20 yen.
Both South Pacific currencies gained for a third week against the greenback, with the Aussie rising 0.3 percent and the kiwi advancing 0.6 percent.
The MSCI World Index of stocks fell 0.4 percent today, and the MSCI Asia Pacific Index retreated 0.9 percent as investors sought safer assets.
U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 200,000 jobs last month, Labor Department data showed today in Washington. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey was for a rise of 155,000. The unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent, the lowest level since February 2009.

I want the lines to wash out. What does everyone use.

I use a fine mechanical pencil on light colors, pressing just hard enough to leave a light line. On darks, I use a washable colored pencil in a color that closely matches the background, but can still be seen. Annie |

best marking pencil I've found for colors is Nonce. It's white and waxy and washes out easily with a damp cloth. |

Crayola washable markers. |
Far and away, my favorite marking tool for straight lines on any fabric is a Hera Marker. It is a piece of plastic with an edge that makes a tiny crease. You can use it before or after basting; I prefer BEFORE for better accuracy. Get the fat ROUNDED one (link below), much easier to use than the pointy slim one. If you make a mistake, simply dampen the fabric and remark again when it gets dry. I use it for other sewing, too; general placement lines for applique, to mark for seams, cutting lines, or alterations. If you have trouble seeing the line to quilt, simply change your angle of light. Sometimes I use a fine point blue washable marker, knowing that I CANNOT leave it in the car, or expose it to ANY heat, and that it will have to be rinsed out with plain cold water later. On dark fabrics, I like to use a White Berol Pencil. With a lot of handling, like on a border that gets quilted last, it can rub off, so sometimes I will need to go over it again later. Recently I have also tried the Clover White Fine Point Pen that is removed with water or heat. But IMHO, it is expensive and does not cover a lot of territory before it runs out or dries up in storage. It is a new product – who knows what these chemicals will do over the years? The worst tool you can use is yellow; I've heard horror stories about yellow markers either not coming out, or re-appearing years later or after washing. BlueBars |

I ordered an Ultimate Pounce thingy just now. I was going to try Glad Press-n-Seal and draw right on it, but I read someone's comment that it didn't tear out so easily and left tiny pieces that were near impossible to get out. They also commented that the Press-n-Seal Freezer was light blue, and heavier. They used it to make stencils for pouncing Sounds neat, and above all for me this time of year, CHEAP. |

another woman out there in cyberland gives another idea- Lay a piece of bridal illusion, very fine netting, over the pattern and trace it with a Washable Crayola Marker. Then lay the bridal illusion over the fabric, and trace it again using a Washable Crayola Marker (or other marker of your choice, I presume.) I'd be sure to test this one! And not use yellow! |

I try not to quilt on anything that won't take the thick washable blue pen, ie, darkcolors :) I love them because they consistantly come out & they are so easy to use with a stencil. The thicker line is great for my aging eyeballs. Jill |
What a great discussion. You gals have mentioned products I have never heard of. I am particularily interested in the press'n seal stencil. Thanks for sharing all of your methods. Jean |
I've used the Glad Press 'n' Seal wrap. Yes, you can use a marker to draw your pattern on it. It will stick, with just hand pressing, to your fabric. I was so hopeful that I would love it. BUT, it's an absolute bear (please read other bad words here) to remove. I would never, ever recommend it. I was picking out pieces of that stuff for months from just a small quilt. So not worth it. |
I use the Bohin mechanical chalk pencils. The "leads" are very fine and you can get them in different colors. They're actually chalk, so they wash off very easily! Anjea |

I just ordered the Bohin with the fine chalk but have 2 of the older ones with the thicker chalk. They work just fine for tracing around templates or cookie cutters. I also use the Crayola or RoseArt washable markers. I've never had a problem with them washing out regardless of the color. |
Always test everything before using it on your quilt. I tried the PressNSeal for hand quilting some floral designs. To draw the design onto the PNS, I tried ballpoint pen, Sharpie pen, and also some of the lighter color markers. The problem I had, even though I let them all dry for 48 hours first, the color of the marker kept rubbing off onto my thread. The thread got darker and darker. When I took it out, there were dots on the fabric. Using it as a stencil might work with removable markers, but I'm not sure if chalk would stay on the fabric when you pull off the PNS? BlueBars |
- Posted by damascusannie (My Page) on Thu, Nov 13, 08 at 10:03
Rather than Press n Seal to make moveable stencils for pouncing, I use lightweight template plastic. I draw the design with a fine-point permanent marker, sew around it with a dull needle in my sewing machine and then use double-stick tape to hold it in place. I make a pad from some old batting and use baby powder to pounce the design. The baby powder does brush off very easily so this method works best on small simple designs. Annie |
I never heard of using Crayola Washable Markers. WOW I'm going to share the idea with my quilting pals. I know none of them have tried it either. Think I'll try the bridal Illusion idea, I have a small multi colored quilt and have been trying to decide how to mark it. No wonder this is my favorite place to visit. |
- Posted by petalpatsy (My Page) on Sat, Nov 15, 08 at 20:51
I was bound and determined to use that Press n Seal, seeing how I'd already bought it. I marked with a chalk pencil, and put strips or squares of PnS over the marks to protect the chalk. It's on a Q-snap type of frame, and I'm going to take off just one piece of PnS when I'm ready to quilt that part. |
My question is are the Crayola washable markers just the kind you find in the kids department or something special for quilting? It's a new concept for me. I have always bought the making pens use with quilting but find they often dry up before I use them up. Jayne |
I have also noticed that the marking pens I have gotten at the quilt store dry up too fast. Are the crayola ones thin enough for fine marking? |
i use crayolas too. (even tho i am still a lowly stitch in the ditch machine quilter) just the ones i can scavenge from the bot's secret stash (he hates it when i steal his markers) just regular old markers. I haven't had any problems with wash out or bleeding. the mini fine tips i find better than the big 'little kid' fat markers. and they come in oodles of colours so you can either contrast or match for colour. |

Local man snared by Obamacare
LACONIA — While champions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) challenged the veracity of television ads that featured individuals claiming to have suffered from the law, a local man dared anyone, including Harry Reid, the leader of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate, to question how the act jeopardized his health and finances.
Tom Garrity has suffered from an aggressive type of lymphoma for the past eight years. He has been treated by physicians at at the Dana Farber Cancer Instutute and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where he has undergone two bone marrow transplants and more than 50 rounds chemotherapy. He stressed that the care and treatment he has received is not offered by a provider in New Hampshire.
Garrity's wife, as the sole proprietor of a property business, was able to purchase health insurance in the small group market and carry her husband on a one-life group plan offered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. However, the Affordable Care Act did away with one-life group plans, overriding state laws that permitted them. Garrity said that in February he received a notice from Anthem informing him that his policy was being discontinued and advising him to seek coverage on the New Hampshire Health Insurance Marketplace, or "exchange," established by the ACA.
Anthem is the sole carrier offering plans on the exchange. Garrity said that he reviewed all the plans offered on the exchange only to find that none included the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in their provider networks. He said that he appealed to representatives of Anthem, citing the principle of "continuity of care," which because of his longstanding relationship with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute would afford him coverage for a provider outside the network. But, he was told since his policy had been discontinued, the principle did not apply.
Garrity said that he turned to an insurance broker who found a plan with Aetna Helath Insurance that covered his treatment at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He said that the costs were comparable to his original policy with Anthem, with lower deductibles and marginally higher premiums and co-pays. But, he stressed that the experience consumed a great deal of time and caused a great deal of anxiety.

Conn. man arrested for stealing Rolexes in Laconia
LACONIA — City police, working with police from Fairfield and Newtown, Conn., have arrested the man who allegedly used a fraudulent check to steal three Rolex watches from Sawyers Jewelry.
Sgt. Thomas Swett said Shane Fusco, 38, of 5 Nelson Lane, Newtown, Conn., is being held on a fugitive from justice warrant after being stopped during a traffic stop in Newtown yesterday.
He faces charges in Laconia for theft by deception and forgery, both felonies.
Police said that Fusco allegedly went into Sawyers on Feb. 27 and used a phony bank check to buy three Rolex watches worth a total of $35,500. Police said the watches have been recovered.
Police said Sawyers followed all their internal policies. However, they learned that the check was a very good forgery. Sawyers notified police of the situation on March 4.
Fusco is scheduled to appear in court in Danbury, Conn., on March 24, 2014.

Jewett Brook project gains federal grant funding
LACONIA — The Department of Public Works will seek authorization from the City Council when it meets Monday evening to undertake the first phase of the Jewett Brook Watershed Management Plan with a matching grant from the federal government.
Following the flooding of Normandin Square in 2006 and 2007, Luke Powell, assistant director of public works, began seeking funding for to address the situation. A study of the brook and its watershed was completed in 2011 and Dubois & King Inc., consulting engineers, prepared recommendations to lessen the risk of flooding at Normandin Square.
Jewett Brook starts in Gilford and stretches for about five miles. Less than a mile of the stream flows through the city. Near the northern entrance to the Lakes Business Park on Gilford Avenue, the main stem of the brook is joined by a major tributary that originates to the northeast, on the north side of Route 11A about halfway between the bypass and Hoyt Road. From there the brook runs westward, roughly parallel to Gilford Avenue, skirts Tardif Park and runs under Highland Street and Union Avenue before passing under the Normandin Square Apartments and Davis Place from where it empties into the Winnipesaukee River some 250 yards above the Avery Dam.
High levels of sedimentation beneath Union Avenue, Normandin Square Apartments and David Place have diminished the capacity of the brook and contributed to the recurrent flooding at Busy Corner. However, Powell said that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) is unwilling to permit dredging until the city has taken measures to reduce erosion and sedimentation upstream of the Union Avenue bridge by restoring the brook's access to its floodplain, which has been obstructed by walls along its bank.
Powell said that the $40,000 grant, awarded under the Clean Water Act, would meet about 51 percent of the cost of removing the barriers, regrading the floodplain and planting vegetative buffers to restore the floodplain. The city would match the grant, primarily with in-kind engineering and construction services worth $38,590, to complete the $78,590 budget for the project. Powell expected the project could be designed this year and completed in 2015.
The next step, Powell explained, will be to seek permission from DES to dredge beneath the bridges at Union Avenue and Davis Place as well as alongside and underneath the Normandin Square Apartments. He said that a partial dredge, creating a channel 10 feet wide and 6 inches deep, would increase the capacity of the brook at the Union Avenue bridge by about 70 percent, which would reduce the level and frequency of flooding.

By Ellyn Ruddick-Sunstein in Feminism on Apr 02, 2014
Two days ago, the Army revised its grooming regulations to prohibit hairstyles specific to black women; although dreadlocks and twists have been disallowed since 2005, these new rules are shockingly strict, banning the growth of natural hair from exceeding 2 inches and braids from being wider than one quarter inch.
Black women make up a whopping one third of females in the military, explains the Georgia National Guard member Sgt. Jasmine Jacobs, who has served for 6 years; in protest of the prejudicial regulations, she wrote this petition. Jacobs has worn her natural for 4 years, reporting that she has never broken regulation and has always maintained a professional appearance. She writes, "These new changes are racially biased and the lack of regard for ethnic hair is apparent. "
As our society shifts to embrace natural hairstyles and abandon the (often racially motivated) pressures to use chemical hair treatments, these grooming rules are disappointing. Most women in the military don't have access to hair relaxers and straighteners; therefore, the practical burden of these rules fall only to black women, "offer[ing] little to no options for females with natural hair." With so many women and people of color serving in our armed forces, it's about time we stop letting prejudice inform regulatory decision.

Royal Princess Cruise Review by shipsealand: Good, bad , and ugly

Compare Prices on Royal Princess Western Caribbean Cruises
Good, bad , and ugly
Hope Princess is reading this post to make improvements since DW & I prefer sailing w/ them.
The Good: The ship is impressive, especially Piazza. Food in Traditional dining was very good , like the old days of cruising. Do the Alfredo's pizza, among the best. Big screen TV to see the movies after they play on MUTS. Great to have done the cruise just prior to trans-Atlantic since had two entertainment crews on board so saw more shows.
The Bad: We walk but lack of stairs in mid section of ships does cause elevator issues. Ventilation system in cabins do not really adjust, can only get cool air at one temperature. Air volume not adjustable except at "max cool" and then get noticeably more air.
The Ugly: Even though I had noticed Princess ahead of time of my shellfish allergies and they had acknowledged, I still developed a rash. I was given the menu one day prior to see if there were acceptable choices and of course there were, and I carefully selected More
non-shellfish entries but still for first time on Princess got rash from the food. I think that they are not being careful of letting shellfish mix with other foods or of reusing the same cooking oils. Less

Xenith Bankshares, Inc. Reports Second Quarter, First Half 2013 Results And Announces Share Repurchase Program
RICHMOND, Va., July 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xenith Bankshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:XBKS), parent company of Xenith Bank, a business-focused bank serving the Greater Washington, D.C., Richmond and Greater Hampton Roads, Virginia markets, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Net income was $552,000, or $0.05 per common share, in second quarter 2013, compared to $832,000, or $0.08 per common share, in second quarter 2012. For the first six months of 2013, net income was $970,000, or $0.09 per common share, compared to $1.14 million, or $0.10 per common share, for the first six months of 2012. Net income in second quarter and first half 2013 reflected income tax expense, while net income in the comparable 2012 periods did not include income tax expense, as the company had a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.
Second Quarter, First Half 2013 Highlights
- Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $5.25 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $5.03 million in the second quarter of 2012, and $10.09 million in the first half of 2013 compared to $9.74 million in the first half of 2012. Interest income was lower in the 2013 periods due to lower loan and investment yields, which was more than offset by lower cost of deposits and lower provisions for loan losses.
- Total assets were $578.93 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $563.21 million at December 31, 2012, primarily reflecting loan growth and higher levels of investment securities.
- Net loans held for investment increased to $393.59 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $379.01 million at December 31, 2012. Loans held for sale, which reflect the company's participation in a mortgage warehouse lending program, were $61.86 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $80.87 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease in loans held for sale is due to a decline in mortgage refinancing activity nationwide, a trend that could continue.
- Total deposits grew to $464.68 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $453.23 million at December 31, 2012, providing additional core deposit funding to support the company's lending activities.
- Asset quality remained strong, with a ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.89% at June 30, 2013, down from 0.95% at December 31, 2012. The ratio of ALLL to nonaccrual loans exceeded 100% at June 30, 2013.
- Book value per common share at June 30, 2013 was $7.51, down from $7.55 at December 31, 2012, while tangible book value 1 was $6.00 at June 30, 2013, compared to $6.02 at December 31, 2012. Total shareholders' equity was $87.14 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $87.55 million at December 31, 2012. The recent increase in longer term interest rates had a negative impact on the market value of the company's securities portfolio, which reduced the company's equity.
- Capital ratios remained above regulatory standards for "well-capitalized" banks, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.39%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.69%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.71% at June 30, 2013.

I have gained and lost over 80 lbs with each of my other two, and have been through every diet pill I could get my hands on in the process. The only ones that ever worked for me have been taken off the market. I have a REALLY slow metabolism, hence the 80 lb preg. wieght gain. Has anyone ever supplemented with apple cider vinegar? My mother has used it on and off forever to manage her weight and swears by it, but I always wondered if she would have had a problem anyway without it-she never had excess weight to lose. I don't know if it was the ACV or if she is just one of those lucky few who just doesn't have to worry about it.

The Dry Branch Fire Squad, a Blue Grass powerhouse, is performing at Willits on Feb. 8. These busy performers are being brought to Willits by the Willits Rotary as a fundraiser for local school scholarships.
The performance is at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 8 in the Willits Center for the Arts. Pre-sale tickets are $20 and are on sale at Willits Furniture, La Bodega, Willits Pet Care, Willits Redwood Company and the Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah.
'Bring the whole family and enjoy a special opportunity to hear a nationally recognized group perform in an intimate concert setting," says Willits Rotarian Bruce Burton.
The Dry Grass Fire Squad has been performing their special mix of bluegrass and entertainment for 25 years.
Ted Lehman, of the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival reviewed this venerable group saying,
"Dry Branch Fire Squad is the onliest band to have appeared at all sixty-one iterations of The Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival. I've begun to realize that Ron Thomason, the band's leader throughout its history, is a sort of Forest Gump of bluegrass. He's been there from the start at Fincastle and seems to have been involved in many of the most important moments in bluegrass history, either as a spectator or participant. He also represents the closest thing bluegrass has to offer to a genuine Will Rogers, Mark Twain kind of humorist. Ron describes himself as a conservative in the deepest sense of the word, clinging to the most important values that have helped to forge the strengths of our nation.
The Squad is visiting Willits on a California tour from the Bay Area to Arcata before heading east to Florida and Virginia.

Forest critters get payback for Bambi's mom in this mildly diverting but ultimately rather aggravating cartoon from the Sony stable. Basically it's Madagascar again, with Martin Lawrence's domesticated grizzly forced to reawaken dormant natural instincts to survive the great outdoors and trigger-happy hunters. As a wise-cracking deer, Ashton Kutcher plays Donkey to Lawrence's Shrek, while Billy Connolly voices the obligatory squirrel (see Ice Age , Over The Hedge and Hoodwinked).
Shunning nature-doc realism for exaggerated animal antics, the trio of directors aim for Tex Avery zaniness and a slightly adult feel (there's a running gag about bears shitting in woods, for example). In the end, however, the painful lack of originality defeats them, along with Lawrence's lazy, frequently indistinct drawl. If he can't be arsed, then why should we?

My DS is 37 months old, and is having a terrible time of going to sleep! Any suggestions on how you get your little ones to stay in bed & to go to sleep? |

Is he on a schedule or anything? My son is 31 months old now and up until the past couple of weeks he went to bed when I could tell he was ready for it. He would be tired and go right to sleep. These days he's now in bed at 11pm and it's working. For some reason he can be totally awake when I put him to bed and he'll argue but will stay in bed and fall asleep. Could you tell him it's bedtime and that's it and leave and if he gets out of bed keep putting him back until he gets the idea? I think it takes some time to get them to get back into it. It's a stage or something. I think after a few stern talks and you being persistant, your son will get the idea and go to bed. I hope this helps. I hope it makes sense, too, I seem to be rambling a lot tonight! LOL ~Leslie~ |
- Posted by Cindy(email@example.com) onTue, Nov 20, 01 at 21:14
I agree that having a routine is important... Having a few things that you do every night before bed will help them get the idea that it's time to settle down. Here's ours: 7:00 Bathtime 7:30 Story time with Daddy 7:45 Bedtime -- I take him to his bed, and either sit and talk to him or read another short story. He gets a glass of water and his teddy bear. He's pretty good at staying in bed, but if he gets up I just put him back down and tell him goodnight again. For a while there we had to do this several times a night, but being firm and consistent seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps! |

We had a sleep problem with our almost 3 yr old. Not exactly the same as yours, but every night after 20 minutes in bed he started yelling for us, and then in the middle of the night same thing. It was always like that once in a while, but gradually it became the nighly routine. We always had a bedtime routine. We tried many things, but this is what worked for us. We put whatever toy seemed to be his favorite on his dresser and before going to bed, said "If you yell and scream for us to come get you, we will take that toy away". Therefore, it was right there by the bed and he had to make the decision himself whether to yell or lose the toy. For each night he did not cry out, we said we were proud of him for being such a big boy as soon as he woke up in the morning. We told him if he does not cry for 1 week we will get him a present. |

Sherwood, Did you have a bad experience? |
- Posted by sherwood_botsford 3a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 30, 09 at 18:35
Sort of. I have called the 4 largest irrigation companies in Alberta. They do sprinkler. Or residential. Or golf courses. I ask for drip tape. I get an 'eh? whuzat?" or "We don't carry that" in a tone of voice that implies that I must be some kind of feeble minded idiot to ask. I leave messages. No one returns my calls. Buying stuff from the states is full of hassles. Don't believe the stuff about free trade. ANYTHING that crosses the border in less than container loads is double in price by the time you get it. And it takes a minimum of 2 weeks. E.g. If I ordered a thousand drippers from Mr. Drip for 20 cents each: $200 U.S. + 20% exchange + 5% GST + $40 shipping + 5% GST on the shipping + $110 brokerage fee + 5% GST on the brokerage fee + $30 gas and 3 hours of my time to go to town to pick it up. OR $150 to have it delivered. NGS has been around for a while, but I've never dealt with them. When dealing with tech stuff, I prefer to buy it at a store where I can go back and pound on the desk if it doesn't work. ID is a new company to me. Their prices are a LOT cheaper than NGS which in turn is about as cheap as I could do from the U.S. Curiously neither company shows up much in internet searches outside of their own web sites. No recommendations. No horror stories. MY website is mentioned on more sites than either of these two, and I'm just a one person operation trying to sell trees to the local area, not a national online supply company. So I'm seeking recommendations. Where do you go to buy a thousand drippers? |
Sherwood, I had that feeling. Here is a link to an irrigation supply directory in Canada. Hope this works. http://www.frasers.com/public/searchResults.jsf?ProductID=13572 I don't know if any of these companies are in your area though. Depending on your pressure and available flow you could do irrigation without drippers just pvc pipe or poly and a little experimenting. GL Aloha. |

Just to followup: I have dealt with both Northern and ID now. Both are solid companies. NGS tends to be pricier, but they carry Netafim water filters -- One of the best disk filters available. Irrigation Direct sells a line of chinese knockoffs, but they are good knockoffs. I have now bought two miles of tubing, and 4000 drippers from them. |

I advise against any rings that have a stone in the setting...I have an awesome whitegold ring set with a 2+ carat blue lab grown saphire and 6 small white saphires in the sides---i did the ring trick 2x a few months ago...it stretched the band a bit opening the stone setting and the damn thing landed in the disposal the next time I washed my hands....don't know why or how, but at 0100 I figured out where the stone was but since I couldn't see it I flipped on the disposal...and chipped one side of the stone....but-i found it, had a local jeweler reset it and fix the ring....all's well...swmbo was a bit miffed....but got over it...after a few days,..so yeah---I wouldn't do that.... haven't read all the posts - did someone mention the flip-flops with the built in opener? great idea, unless you have dogs...or cattle....
